My less-than-a-year-old niece prefers her dad's iPad to her toys. Lol. Educational baby apps for her. Yes, I totally agree it is a great tool for kids. It's not just for play and entertainment.
Do you mind posting a screenshot of your Command Center?
I was sad to hear the iPad 3 would not support Airdrop, and am curious if there might be a way to make that feature work.
iPad 3 Wifi
- Animations noticeably slower than beta 2 on iPhone (5)
- Controls are sluggish compared to beta 2 on iPhone (5)
- Photos App pinch to zoom throws the anchor about 1/2 a screen away resulting in the photo at the edge of the screen rotating around the centre
- Battery Life is actually superb...
- Animation has changed when using gestures to minimise an app (Homescreen icons fall into place one by one). As a side note the Dock is not transparent during this gesture.
- iPad Safari does NOT suffer from the glitches that can appear on iPhone Safari (specifically scrolling to the top constantly)
- Splitting the Keyboard results in poor animation/frame rate when typing.

My 10 year old daughter has the original iPad (64 GB - AT&T) so she is stuck on IOS 5, I have the New iPad 3rd Gen (64 GB - AT&T) but I have to share with a 4 year old so I'm not sure if I should upgrade or not. If Temple Run, Netflix, Disney Jr and Angry Birds don't work I could have an upset Pre-Schooler on my hands.
Truthfully, the iPad and MacBook are the two most powerful tools my 10 year old has had in her education. She is so far ahead of her classmates because of technology. I wish we'd had this kind of technology when I was a kid.

I can't believe Airdrop is not available on the iPad 3. Makes the function completely useless.
"Oh, let me airdrop that file for you. Sorry, my iPad is over a year old so Apple won't support me. Can you just email it, thx."

To be fair to Apple, it's missing WiFi direct on the wifi chipset. They came up with a new feature that requires that technology, simple as that. Hence why even the iPad mini which is less powerful supports it, simply because it has a newer wifi chipset that supports wifi direct.

I believe Airdrop needs the new Bluetooth specs that is only on the iPhone 5, iPad mini and iPad 4.
